Beauty and the Geeks - Top 10 for 2009

My Top Ten for albums of 2009 have been submitted to the North Shore News - many thanks to audiophile John Goodman. I have given him the caveat audiens for my picks - being far more folk/roots and of course, singer-songwriter stuff. No Lady GaGa (gag-gah) from me. How vile. You'll notice this is the year of really geeky looking guy bands -save for Morrissey, Bruce Cockburn and Neko Case. And a lot of Canadians.

1: Neko Case - Middle Cyclone *** A highlight of the year and an obvious highlight to her recording career. Neko Case is outstanding in her vocal talent and this album is a must have by anyone's standards!
